Applied Epidemiology – Plans of Study

Epidemiology — the study of the distribution and determinants of disease or other influencing risk factors in a population — is the cornerstone of public health inquiry and problem-solving. Unlike clinical medicine which predominantly focuses on an individual’s health and well-being, epidemiology uses a broader lens to examine the health of populations. Through this approach, epidemiologists identify public health threats and inform targets for interventions that reduce risk and improve health.

The Applied Epidemiology concentration curriculum requirements are based upon your academic year (AY) of admission to the MPH@UNC program.  Please review and follow the Plan of Study based upon your respective AY of admission.  Please consult with your Academic Coordinator regarding any changes or updates to your Plan of Study and the MPH@UNC program, including Practicum, Culminating Experience, and/or other degree requirements.
